OUR HISTORY

Kalyani Life Institute first took shape as a charitable organization, fulfilling categorical needs to individuals with physical and mental disabilities. It was founded with concepts and agony of some parents of five autistic, Mentally Retarded and Cerebral Palsy children. Impact generation:- The impact of negative attitudes is also evident at policy level, in legislation, and in school practice. Education officials, teachers and NGOs need to develop a sound understanding of disability as a social challenge – it is about lack of opportunities for disabled children to develop their full potential and participate in society – rather than seeing disabled children as children who ‘lack’ some skills or abilities. Only when this concept is grasped will individuals and organisations involved in education recognize their responsibility for helping to break the cycle of negative attitudes and segregation.

Kalyani life institute has started functioning since early part of 2010 with five special children and their parents. One parent has donated a piece of land and we built a temporary structure over it. In the year of 2014 we have got accommodation in a Government school premises. And our beneficiaries count multiplied to triple. We have been registered to the National Trust in the year of 2016. We have started school in our own rented premises in 2016.
